0:29:15Bikenot requiring static linking sounds like a good idea to me, at least

0:29:29drmeisterWe can switch to dynamic linking - but waf seems to want one or the other. Take a look at the wscript where it searches for the boehm library. It tries first to find a static version and then it drops down to the dynamic version.

0:42:16balroghaha funny you should say that. one of them is developing FPGA tools, another is developing cross platform compatibility environments to run legacy Apple/Mac software on modern platforms, as well as Unix-like environment on legacy platforms

5:42:02drmeister::notify Bike In the new dev - can you give me a switch where I can compile with cst but not inlining? I need to debug %defcallback because just as I suspected - when I try to compile cando with the new dev it fails in the worst place possible. While compiling the pzmq system. Source tracking could help me debug it.

5:53:41drmeister::notify Bike What happened to compile-lambda-form-to-llvm-function? I need it to make defcallback work - can revivify it https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp/blob/mps/src/lisp/kernel/cleavir/translate.lisp#L1176

10:05:05Colleenattila_lendvai: drmeister said at 2018.06.12 21:57:09: It looks like a workaround is to not use the lld linker when building in object mode on linux (phew). I added support for lld for bitcode/lto mode - so it's no big deal to switch back to ld for object mode.

10:05:06Colleenattila_lendvai: drmeister said 21 hours, 54 minutes ago: I made a change to the parallel scraping code - so that it always does 8 parallel scraping jobs. It looks like every time we pass a different -j xx argument to ./waf it starts scraping everything all over again. My compromise hack is to stop that from happening. We need a better way

10:39:58attila_lendvai::notify drmeister hrm, I could reproduce the waf jobs issue locally. a note: it's better to record the reason for the change right into the wscript file in a comment. I've seen that diff long ago, versus just saw this ephemeral note here on irc. code comments also remain near the change for long if someone later on wonders about it. I've pushed a commit to record it there.

10:43:11attila_lendvai::notify drmeister re that linker issue: reading the bug reports it look to me a legit error that happens due to not doing something properly, and it may not cause any issues when linking in a more permissive environment (macos?). but it's just a vague impression...
